The NY Post has a follow-up to yesterday's story about a man in Williamsburg who found himself surrounded and detained by a group of two dozen Hasidics after going into a store and yelling at the shopkeeper that he "hated Jews" and that they "should all die." The paper released the name of the man, Ben Kircher, who was not arrested because no charges were pressed and spoke to his father, Ben Kircher Sr. His dad, who is estranged from the 28-year-old, says, "I don't want people to think it's a hate crime. It's a drunk thing. He's not that kind of person when he's not drinking,"

People say what they really think when they're drunk, not when they're sober.

In vino vertias.
*veritas rather.
...because only a raving paranoiac would interpret "I hate Jews" and "they should all die" as antisemitism? Or is this just exquisitely subtle and ironical?
moron patrol!
splicer: the jerk didn't get pummeled or hit at all. learn to read.
doowop, doth thine ignorance know no bounds? the things this guy said were anti-semitic, they were intended to be, and he knocked off a kid's hat.
jews don't hate you, so stop hatin' on jews.
Anti-semite or not, the kid threw two watermelons to the ground and that crosses a line for all of us.
They should have just stomped his ass into the ground after all.
Someone cue the support group for abuse to headgear and large fruit.
